The Edifice of this New World Order, which the Báb has
heralded, which the mind of Bahá’u’lláh has envisioned, and whose features
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, its Architect, has delineated, we, whatever our capacities,
opportunities or position, are now, at so precarious a period in the world’s
history, summoned to found and erect.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated May
22, 1939; ‘Messages to America’)
